Flow Surfaces in Rotating Axial-Flow Passages.
Abstract
In order to investigate the deviation of flow surfaces from their assumed orientation in the usual type of two-dimensional solution, three-dimensional, incompressible, nonviscous, absolute irrotational fluid motion is determined for flow through rotating axial-flow passages bounded by straight blades of finite spacing and infinite axial length lying on meridional planes. Solutions are obtained for five passages with varying blade spacing and hub-tip ratio. The results are presented in such a manner as to apply for all ratios of axial velocity to passage tip speed. It is concluded that, for conditions in typical axial-flow blade rows, the deviation of flow surfaces from their assumed orientation in two-dimensional solutions is small.
